Sounding like hauling an anchor up, the TCM (still invisible to the TV viewers) grabs Locke to take him down the rabbit hole. Jack grabs him at the entrance and calls to Kate to blow up a stick at the TCM down the hole. Locke wants to be let go, sure it is merely a test of faith. Jack throws the BOOM stick into the hole and a swarm or mist of black smokiness appears, groups itself together, and leaves.

“The others said they were coming for the boy…”

Hmmmm… Walt, maybe?

The Others might be annoyed that their target set sail…

Instead of wiring up the highly unstable dynamite, wouldn’t it make more sense just to chuck a rock at it?

Possible new questions for **Trion**

Boat people = Others?

Why do they want Walt?

Is Sawyer dead?

Is Alex dead or something worse?

Will Steve and Francine (was it?) get jiggy?

Did you notice the ads during this episode? Almost all were for sci-fi/fant/occultish movies and TV series. So, what genre is _LOST_ ?

Well according to Orson Scott Card, it’s Sci-fi.  
Ooh! Ooh! Moving door… And? And? And?

I miss Boone.

I love me a huge fat oddball.

Jin slew me with a look in the men’s room. One expression on screen for 8 seconds told more than 22 previous episodes.

The Hatch is OPEN! It’s a very, VERY deep passage. To what?

Re: Walt … holy crap, did I see [that](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=316088&page=2&pp=50) coming a few weeks ago, or what? And yet, I was _still_ stunned. Crap on a stick, people. _Crap on an **ever-lovin’ stick**._

Never have I dreaded a single word so much. I can’t see a clock from my chair so every time the screen went dark I feared that the **LOST** would appear.

And then it did.

This summer is going to _suck_.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I don’t always make it through the Lost threads every week. But does Abrams have some fascination with the number 47? I’ve been re-watching the first season of _Alias_ and 47 occurs a number of times, and it’s made a number of appearances on _Lost_ as well.

Was it me, or was the boat person who tossed the molotov/bomb onto the survivor’s raft a youngish lady?

Maybe 16 years old, with French ancestry…?
